The show begins in the year 2149, a time when all life on planet Earth
is threatened with extinction, (suggested in trailers to be due to
dwindling worldwide air quality). In an effort to save the human race,
scientists develop a portal allowing travel 85 million years back in time to prehistoric
Earth. The Shannon family (father Jim, his wife Elisabeth, and their three
children Josh, Maddy and Zoe) join the tenth pilgrimage of settlers to Terra
Nova, the first human colony on the other side of the temporal doorway.
However, they are unaware that the colony is in the middle of a group of
carnivorous dinosaurs
